Abstract

MEMS Microfluidics Separation
This study presents a new microfluidic device for particle separation utilizing tilted eaves-like structures to separate small particles from a large volume of bio-samples with various particle sizes without clogging in the microchannel. Experi-mental results showed that the microchip was capable of separating microparticles with diameters of 5, 20 and 60 μm using the proposed device. The developed micro-fluidic device also provides a simple way to perform a reasonable separation (86%).
